It is important for every user to know the correct status of the web hosting server where his or her website is hosted. For this you need to go to the tab "Customers Area" and then click on "Get Support" and then on "Check the status of your host server". The report will come in two columns one is Service, the other one is Status. If the server's status is fine then it will show that OK against all the Services such as Apache, IMAP, MySQL, Mail and POP3. Remember in most cases Apache is the web server and if its status is not OK, then your site becomes inaccessible to the users. The next server is the FTP server and if it fine, then you can upload the files using the FTP client, if not then you are unable to do that.
Those of you who want to check the status of the server using WHM they should first log on to the WHM. Here you should click on the "Server Status". This would provide you with a list of services that are run on the server and their status. You can know whether a service is working fine or having problems from the lights provided on the right side of the screen. If the light is "Green", then the service is fine. If it is "Red", then the service is failing and the "Yellow" light is the signal of the service about to fail. If you find that the services are failing or are about to fail, then it is better that you carry out more investigations about the causes and how to bring them back into running form.
Also, from this report you would come to know about the Server Load. This will give you an idea whether the server is overloaded or is fine. At the end of the report, you would find a detailed report about your Hard Drive with its partition, so that you can know how much storage space is used and how much space is available. With the help of this report you can get a complete idea of your server's status and space.
